Somebody tell me who we're going to sell this to. This is a dilemma, boys, ladies, gentlemen. This is a dilemma. How are we going to sell this to our public, to our season-ticket holders? How are we going to sell this? Because you know I'm telling you the facts."

Vitt should have a job for life with the Saints. So, lets understand what has happened. GW wants players to take out the opponents' asst coaches. GW is allowed back in the league at roughly the same time as Payton, who's only "sin" appears to be not firing GW sooner. And, as a welcoming gift to NO, Goodell re-affirms that the 2nd round pick in 2013 is forfeited. Yeah, everyone remember to be "nice" to Goodell while he's in NO. And, btw, a BIG FU to Jeff Duncan.

quote:Vitt repeatedly described Cerullo as a "liar" and once as an "idiot." Vitt repeatedly threatened to sue Cerullo and offered to compare stories with him while hooked up to lie detector tests. Vitt recounted many of the alleged lies Cerullo told while working for the Saints - including the alleged story about his fiancée and a child being seriously injured in a car accident.

Was Cerullo dating Lennay Kekua at the time? If so, maybe he was telling the truth.
